'Beneath You'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
is Midsummer Night's Eve the night before the soltice, or the night of?
Why isn't Midsummer Night in, like, early August? June is the start not the middle of summer. (I'm sure there's some etymological explanation, but if I were a stand-up comedienne, that would totally be one of my lines.)
Although Midsummer is originally a pagan holiday, in Christianity it is associated with the nativity of John the Baptist, which is observed on the same day, June 24, in the Catholic, Orthodox and some Protestant churches. It is six months before Christmas because Luke 1:26 and Luke 1.36 imply that John the Baptist was born six months earlier than Jesus, although the Bible does not say at which time of the year this happened.[1]
It's also S.A.D., but let's not go there
Hint to file away for future reference: a tanning salon isn't a perfect substitute for natural sunlight, but it helps.
Realized I haven't given a Max update in a while. He had another round of bloodwork last week. To translate from medical to English, he's still fighting an infection. But there are fewer signs of that, which means (especially since he's acting more Max-like) that there's less infection to fight. I think the specialist wants to do a more thorough biopsy of whatever is in his nose, but she's willing to wait (at least a bit) while Max is improving. His weight is up a little bit, too -- he's fairly steady at 7 pounds (we'd like him closer to 9). And he's fighting the meds harder.
Urgh!
I have a friend on FB. She's a friend from HS, she's a great woman, lots of fun, but HMOG needy and intruding. She invites herself to EVERYTHING if you post it where she can see it. I should be able to post about plans I make with people without worrying about her inviting herself somewhere I don't necessarily want her to go. Jeebus.
t will not loose perky feeling, will not lose perky feeling, must listen to perky music
It sounds like she wants it. How old is she, 19 or 20?
Yeah, 19, turning 20 in December.
(But I particularly like the line how you're "so old" -- you're what, 28? Is that like 100 in Indian non-married years? Like non-nuptial dog years?!
Oh, I'm already past my expiration date. It's a wonder a woman would be even remotely interested in marrying me.
Go Max go! Pack on those pounds!

While that may be true, it's also *much* worse for your skin than even natural sunlight. [link] I think investing in a light box would be a much better choice.
Also? When the fuck did it become my responsibility to tell people about programs like Angel Food Ministries. I just had 2 people at work give me shit about not telling them about it two years ago! WTF???
Solstice schmolstice. I am in Spokane where it is 49 degrees and pouring rain. Brrr!
Ah Spokane. I was just threatening to take Kristin there to visit so she could see where I lived for five years.

It sounds lovely. It's 90+ here for the foreseeable future. It's not a dry heat.
Does anyone know where I left my drill?
